Dave Mckay and Blake Peterson, at
Willmar, are struck on the hotel pro-
prietor. t. w. Burdick, the proprietor
of the Windsor. says that Mckay and
Peterson are the only real fine travelling
men OH the road or at least which stop
at his house.
John Wallruff. the noted salesman of
Powers Dry Goods company, st. Paul,
leaves the road the 1St of the year to go
to Chicago. We hope that John will
never forget the road and that his own
new business shall be complete sue
cess.
A call was made on the new hotel. the
Merchants at Willmar, by the following
well known commercial travellers: John
Wallruff, ID. l. Mckay, NJ. B. Peterson.
They were highly entertained by the
new proprietor, c. j. Beck, as well as
the ladies of the house, music being fur
nished by Prof. Peterson, and the sweet.
melodious voices of Mckay and Wall
ruff were heard. A very pleasant time
being spent with the ladies of the house.
They expressed their opinion that they
thought it was one of the finest hotels
between st. Paul and Winnipeg. They
left very much pleased with their visit,
wishing the proprietor success.

happy. Pleasant experience that, old
man. Do it some more.
Sam Beech, of Young, Griggs & Howes,
will carry grip for Beaupre. KeOgh q
Co. after the first of the year, cOnse-
quently Dyer will leave us. We all re-
greet this, for during his short stay he
has made himself popular. Dyer is
recent addition to our ranks here, com
ing only short time ago from Canada.
He has worked himself into a good trade
here and we wish him good success on
his next ground. We understand he
still remains with Beaupre, Keogh & Co.
Fair Watson says there is no place
like home, and has gone to stay until
after New Years.
Jim Galbraith, perhaps better known
on the road as Spider" is doing the
graceful at Sleepy Eye. Everybody
likes Spider" even Pauline" at the
Weller house. Jim has record of hav-
ing eaten three dozen large pickles at
one sitting.
Billy Compton, we believe, has made
his last trip over this road, and will in
future devote his time to the interest of
the merchants in the far Northwest.
Wherever he goes he is sure to make
lots of friends. Everybody is sorry he
is leaving here.
Big Lambert still carries his little
trunk, and when he misses meal opens
out and fills up on dried apples. He
SAYS a meal of this kind beats half the
dinners to be had, unless there is sauer

ALL ABOARD FOR THE EAST,
ScOttie Reserves His Christmas
Greetings for Next Week,

Greetings Tor Next w eek.
My colleagues will be pleased to hear
that champion has arisen for them in
the shape of eX-GOy. Proctor Knott, of
Kentucky. Recently, in addressing a
gathering of travelling men at Louis
vile, he paid his compliments to them
in the following interesting remarks:
''But commercial tourists, travellers,
evangeliStS or drummers-call them
what you will like the craft. l have
met them many a time and oft during
my wanderingS the last twenty years,
and have always found them a genial,
whole-sOuled set of fellows, as well as
intelligent, energetic, honorable bust
ness men. In fact, have been with
them so much l know them by their
backs. Do you see that fellow curled
up on the car-Seat there, sound asleep,
unmindful of the roar of the train, the
yell of the brakeman, or the in
greSs or egress of the pas
sengers? He's drummer. He
rode forty miles last night through
wind and rain and mud to make
his point, and he made it. Thatdebon-
naire young man who is helping that
poor, tIred-lOOking lady, with her num-
berless bundles and her sick baby, he's
IL,
faced youngster who is rising to give
that venerable old gentleman his seat is
drummer also. And so are those four
fellows at the rear end of the car, who
are amusing each other and everybody
around them with their flashes of wit
and humorous stories. They are all
drummerS; the closest observers and
the most entertaining narratOrS of
curious and interesting facts in the
world. 1t has been one of the leading
chaI acteriSticS of the commercial trav-
eler from Sinbad the SailOr-the great
prototype of the professionalism to
my genial and esteemed friend, Joseph
MulhattOn, who, in that particular at
least, is said to be far more gifted than
the illuStriOus father of his country"
The city of PipestOne, immortalized
by LOngfellOw in his unique and classic
poem of "Hiawatha," is to have an ele-
CANT new hotel, the foundation of which
is already laid. Since the cOnflagratiOn
of the Calumet, some months ago, the
boys have had no suitable place to stop
at, and the incessant demand for first
class house at such an important point
so impressed the enterpriSing bankers,
MesSrs. Stauer & Myths, that they
finally decided to build the finest hotel
in the state outside of the Twin Cities.
The architects are MeSSrS. Wirth d
Haas, st. Paul, and the style is old
English castellated. Thirty bed rooms,
with large dining room, parlOr
and the usual offices, includ-
ing commodious sample rooms, will
complete one of the best hotels on the
road. and the projectors of the scheme
will merit the thanks of all the boys
who sojourn in the town.
may state the hotel will be built of
pipestone and jasper exclusively, and
will be completed as soon as the weather
will permit of building operations.
Salem, Oak, is another excellent
point for a first-class hotel, and you can
bet the right man can make lots of
money in such an investment.
"'All aboard going east" is being
shouted by the bus driver. so shall re-
serve my Christmas greetings until next
week. SCOTTIE.

The GLOBE wants TO make next Sat
urday's issue one that the boys all over
the Northwest will be proud of. 1t will
be published on the eve of Christmas
and the intention is to fill it
full of good things for the CONNER
cial travellers. Every man who carries
a grip or a sample case should take i'll
terest enough in this enterprise to send
In batch of news that will be of inter
est to commercial travellers. Let all the
boys respond. Little breezy paragraphs
and personals make good reading mat
ter and every travelling man can say
something pleasant about the boys he
knows. If the boys along the line take
interest enough in this matter to fur
nish the material they can fill a page of
next Saturdays GLOBE easily. Let
those who have never written to the
GLOBE before contribute on this occa-
sion, and let every man who has
been regular correspondent send in
an extra large batch. 1t requires matter
that the editor cannot furnish. and
without the cooperation of the boys he
can do nothing. Let the poets set their
machines in motion and the humorists
grind out jokes.
OF course this is busy season. The
boys are coming home for the holidays
and are devOting themselves to their
families, those who have families, and
those who have not are looking after
little pleasure for themselves, but an
hour devoted to the commercial trav-
elers' department of next Saturdays
GLOBE by each travelling man in the
Northwest will give them representa-
ton of which they will be proud. Let
every man show mis- good will by writ
ing something, if it is but a dozen lines.
